Can from the Offie, Leicester. Deep gold, a bit hazy but not murky with a bubbly white head. Tangerine peel and passion fruit juice on the nose, with some heavy booze. Bittersweet taste with an unbalanced hop burn for the first few sips, but it mellows out a bit. A decent but unexceptional IPA from Neon Raptor.

Can. Hazy gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Fluffy malts, medium sweet. Smooth piney hops integrate well with a deceptively soft citrus that then sneaks up on you with a little peel bitterness. An underlying floral mango adds complexity. Smooth and mildly bitter spicy finish. Nice. Smooth and drinkable.
